Sarah Fox

Timonium, MD

Book AuthorEditorProducer (new media)

I'm a published novelist (4 books) who has cut my professional writing/editing teeth for the last ten years, editing a high-end, regional, lifestyle publication; writing the Paris Guide for USAToday; co-authoring the Explorer Resident's Guide for Paris; contributing to the Fodor's and Frommer's Guides; writing numerous articles for national publications (Glamour, Self, Allure, etc.); and turning www.BonjourParis.com and www.StopPagingMe.com into money generating websites (taking them both from offering free content, to selling Premium Memberships and earning thousands within the first month). What I know best is writing, editing, the web, and the magazine business; that -- combined with my strong workaholic work ethic, my happily huge and ever-growing Rolodex, and my natural ability to always write far ahead -- gives me the opportunity to bring a lot to anyone's table.

Tessa White

Los Angeles, CA

CopywriterWriterAccount manager

My goal is to work with words in any capacity, if it be editing, proofing, reshaping, inventing, or deleting. Online or off, I love lifestyle writing – from culture to retail. I can freestyle and riff or I can stay structured and detailed. I’ve freelanced with websites to promote their product and brand through word choice, both precise and creative. I’ve built online newsletters, blogged, and written short stories. I’ve also spent five years working as a product manager for two major ecommerce sites, and learned the intricacies of building a product with a team of designers, developers, sales and clients. I work well with a team but I’m also autonomous; both are necessary for a well-rounded foundation. Over the past two years I focused my efforts on founding and running The Writing Club, a creative writing program for elementary students in San Francisco. I wrote the curriculum, built the lesson plans, and taught more than fifty students over two years.

EditorWriter

I am a San Francisco Bay Area-based independent writer and editor--formerly of HarperCollins (where, until I went rogue in 2014, I was an executive editor) and Random House--with a penchant for the outdoors, sports, and samurai movies and a martially tuned perspective. My experience is in manuscript analysis, book doctoring, writing proposals, and ghostwrit...(boo), and I'm also extremely happy to contribute articles of general interest. With a journalism degree from NYU, and having worked as an editor or agent with authors as diverse as singer-songwriter Willie Nelson, football great Jerry Rice, TOMS Shoes' Blake Mycoskie, mixed martial artist Georges St. Pierre, fashion icon Lauren Conrad, and comediennes Rachel Shukert and Laurie Notaro, I am an egghead of the world. Thanks so much for your considering me!
